We want to hear from you if you’re a nurse who’s been bullied* in the past 5 years

We’re Massey University researchers exploring how the challenges nurses face in coping with bullying may affect the success of organisational responses.

*Bullying refers to repeated, unwanted negative behaviours like harassment, exclusion, or undermining work.

The vacancy was created when Heather Symes resigned in December last year, effective from early January this year. She resigned for family reasons.

Tracey Morgan was elected unopposed as NZNO’s vice president in last year’s board elections.
